Have stayed here before and got in here late evening as I hadn't booked any accommodation. Welcome was warm considering the hour, admittedly there were a surprising number of properties with vacancies. Stayed in a twin room which was comfortable and warmed up when heating was put on, TV decent. I had to go early in the morning but the... More

We stayed 1 night on our first trip to Scotland and were taken back by the lovely old building outside and in. However it is a place you feel like you are an intrusion into the owners lives. Not a warm welcome like experienced else where in Scotland. It was a bit like being in a musuem/library. Dont touch and... More

This B&B existed for the hosts and not the guests. One of those places where you feel you should be on your best behaviour whisper to your partner and put a foot out of place at your peril. Welcome matters - we had ridden in the rain 250 miles and took our boots off in the hall out of respect... More

We stayed two nights for the Jacobite Steam Train experience whilst on a touring holiday with friends. The Lawriestone is a beautiful large house with an immaculate garden opposite the loch on the road into Fort William within easy walking distance of the town. Rooms are spacious and well furnished and the whole place is spotless. We were given a... More

This is a beautiful place. The grounds and house are stunning. However, unless you like a military type of ritual you might want to keep looking. We arrived early and asked if we could leave our bags while we walked around town. We were told to set them by the stairs and while we were getting our daypacks ready, the... More

We stayed 3 nights and had a great room. The B&B is decorated in keeping with the grandness of the building and this extends to the bedrooms. Our room had views over the loch and it was pretty much perfect with a great bed and there were some nice touches that you wouldn't expect from a B&B. We would definitely... More

We stayed their for two night for my wifes parents 40th wedding aniversary. A clash of timings with the Jacobite train journey a meant we checked in at 8pm. We phoned in advance to let them know although on arrival they thought we were not going to show up. Unusually, on arrival also, we were asked to sign the guest... More

We were passing through Fort William and didn't have a place to stay so we made our way to the tourist information and booked through them. We just needed a room for one night, it didn't have to be anything special, but it had to have parking for our rental. We had no idea what to expect, but followed the... More
